...midst of the starkest plot twists, everyone sings and dances. Virtually all Bollywood films are musicals. For 60 years, they have provided India with most of its hit songs (in effect, the movie industry is the music industry). And not just songs--immense production numbers. Dozens of chorus boys in leather and houris in saris frolic while the stars risk dislocating their shoulders and display '60s-style legwork not seen in the West since the Peppermint Lounge closed. The stars dance, but they don't sing. That's the job of "playback singers," unseen onscreen but famous...

...Morris and Stockman met Koyanagi on a Tokyo television show and Koyanagi breezily suggested they sing together sometime. Nearly every song on the album was written by either Morris or Stockman and recorded at the Boyz II Men studio in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. The two Boyz even lend their Grammy-winning vocals to the track I Don't Want to Think About It, giving Koyanagi even greater opportunity to prove her mettle.
